Question

Standard 3.2.1 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code — titled "Food Safety Programs" — is the provision that requires a food business to have a documented food safety program based on HACCP principles.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- The Food Standards Code (FSANZ Code) is the national instrument setting food safety and labeling standards in Australia and New Zealand.  
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a preventative risk-management system that requires hazard analysis, identification of critical control points, monitoring, corrective actions, verification and record-keeping.  
- The specific place in the Code that mandates a HACCP-based program is the Standard that addresses "Food Safety Programs."

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Identify the standard addressing company-level programs: scan the Code for “food safety program” language.  
- Locate Standard 3.2.1, which is explicitly titled "Food Safety Programs."  
- Read the requirements in Standard 3.2.1: it sets out that regulated businesses (as defined by jurisdictions and for specific high-risk activities) must develop, implement, maintain and review a documented food safety program based on HACCP principles.

3) Intermediate details (key elements required under the Standard)
- Hazard analysis and identification of critical controls.  
- Monitoring procedures and corrective actions.  
- Verification, validation and review of the program.  
- Documentation and record-keeping demonstrating implementation.

4) Why this answer is correct
- The text and title of Standard 3.2.1 directly refer to a mandatory food safety program and specify that it must be based on HACCP principles; no other single Standard in the Code gives that same requirement.

5) Why other possible Standards are incorrect
- Standard 3.2.2 covers “Food safety practices and general requirements” (hygiene, temperature control, etc.) but does not itself require a HACCP-based documented program. Other Parts/Standards address labeling, composition or specific food handling rules, not the HACCP-based program mandate.

6) Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct and confirmed citation is: Standard 3.2.1 – Food Safety Programs.
